• Know how to quickly stop the equipment in case of necessity.

• Never use the equipment while it is running abnormally or it is defective.

• Do not direct a water jet or flammable liquid on the machine.

• Never direct an air jet or product jet on a person or an animal.

• Do not touch the warm surfaces of the equipment.

• Always wear adequate body protection (glasses, gloves, overalls, and mask) and pay attention to long hair.

• Never touch moving parts.

• Do not insert any object or the hands inside the protection grids to avoid any accident or damage to the machine.

• For any outside job, only use appropriate extension cords.

• Maintain the equipment carefully and clean it properly after every use.

• Disconnect the equipment before any intervention.

• Avoid absolutely unscrewing any connection while the machine is under pressure.

• Check the damaged parts.

• Do not clean the plastic parts with solvent.

• In case of damage to the electric cable or the plug, do not run the machine and contact a licensed After-Sale Service to put genuine parts instead of the defective ones.

• In case of needed After-Sale Service, always specify the machine model and its serial number.

• For any replacement of parts, only use genuine parts.

• Do not modify the machine.

• Do not cut or dismantle the protection grids.

• Do not open the electric box.

2.1. SAFETY (continued)
WORKSPACE

• Maintain the workspace clean and clear.
• The ambient operating temperature must be from 5°C and 35°C.
• Do not use the equipment in a potentially explosive area.
• Do not place any potentially inflammable objects in close proximity to the machine.
• Take away every not qualified person from the working area of the machine, as well as children and animals.
• In case of installation of the machine on scaffolding or a plan above ground level, attach the machine to avoid any fall while operating.
• Do not install the equipment on an inclined surface to avoid the risks of unexpected moves or falls.

HOSES

• Always use hoses and connections adapted to the used product (genuine parts), do not try to fix it.
• Do not walk on the hoses, do not bend them.
• Do not use the hoses to pull the machine.

STORAGE

• Keep the equipment in a clean and clear area in which the temperature does not exceed +35°C.
• After every use, necessarily grease the pump with a mixture of water + storage liquid to avoid it blocking up. The storage of a not greased pump can damage it seriously.

IN CASE OF NECESSITY, WE SAVE OURSELVES THE RIGHT TO MAKE ANY USEFUL MODIFICATION WITHOUT ADVANCED NOTICE.

2.2. ELECTRIC CONNECTION
The electric connection of the machine must be on a 16A – 230V plug with a differential circuit breaker.
Before any intervention on the machine, make sure that every energy supply is cut (air and electricity).

GROUND CONNECTOR

All the machines must be connected to the ground when they work to protect the operator from electric shocks. Our machines are all equipped with standardized connection plugs.
The electric connections must be made by a qualified technician. It is forbidden to modify or dismantle the machine, especially the electric box.
Repairs must be made by an authorized center or our After-sale Service.
During any intervention on the machine, make sure that the ground is well reconnected.

EXTENSION CORDS

During the use of an extension cord, make sure that it is not crushed or damaged and that it contains ground. Check that the section of the used extension cord is sufficient to support the machine when it is working. A too thin extension cord can cause voltage drops or overheat of the machine.
In case of use of a cable reel, it is imperative to unwind it entirely, otherwise, the equipment can be damaged. The section must be proportional to the length of the cord.

2.3. END OF LIFE OF THE PRODUCT

At its end of life, the machine must not be eliminated with the other household waste. The uncontrolled elimination of waste can harm the environment or human health.  Individuals are invited to contact the distributor which sold them the product or to inquire with their city hall to know where and how to get rid of the product so it can be recycled while respecting the environment.
Under the regulation of Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), we undertake to process the used EEEs according to the following provisions: applicable only to products on the market since 08/13/05, under the brands EUROPE PROJECTION or VOLUMAIR, products of other brands sold by our company (upon presentation of the corresponding invoices), products that operate using electrical energy (for example, thermal washers or compressors do not fall into this category).

Treatment modality
WEEE returns are collected by our clients/distributors at their own expense to our collection points in Antony (92) or Rousset sur Arc (13). Upon receipt, the products are sorted by our employees and directed to the most appropriate processing channels.
For any further information, please contact our hotline to [email protected] or +33 4 42 29 08 96.

CLEANING PROCEDURE

| Disconnect the machine from the power supply before any intervention.
---|---
| Before unscrewing the hose, make sure it is not under pressure anymore.

1. Open the drain valve (I) and empty the tank. If needed, add some water to flow out the remaining product.

2. Rinse the tank with water.

3. Close the drain valve, fill the tank with some soapy water and run the machine so the stator can be soaped.
   (Caution: never use solvent for this operation because the stator would deteriorate).

4. Stop the machine.

5. Dismantle the connector on the lance and on the pump.

6. Put the cleaning ball in the pump nose, then replace the hose on the pump.
